Rest is recalibration
Rest is recalibration. Have you noticed the liberate in that word? It gifts you time. To be. To process. To reboot. To explore. It always surprises me how much more I can do after I have rested. It’s also taken me a long time to be able to put into words what is restful for […]
Writing for a funeral
If you give a speech and/or lead a funeral, which bits do you talk about? I’ve been thinking about this question a lot, and these are the parts I feel to question: do we speak from our values or do we speak from and about the things that that person valued? One thing I […]
Am I doing it right?
Am I doing it right? I had an interesting role a few years back consulting with a group who specialize in leadership development. One of the ways they implemented this was through ‘a day on the job’, where candidates would be in a simulation chamber, working in a role similar to or at one level […]
Acknowledge
We change when we acknowledge who we are. We change when we acknowledge where we are at. We change when we acknowledge the truth. “This is where I am. This is where I am going to go.” Take with us what we need and acknowledge and release the rest. Holding onto stuff is just […]
Amp it up
Amplification. The act or result of amplification; addition, expansion, depth & growth, increasing magnitude. When we are witnessed in something it is amplified.

A career-change client in the past week shared an interesting question – a question they were asked in their most recent interview was… if you could describe your personality and what you bring to the team, which car are you and why?… I attended a seminar about 7 years ago where the same question was […]
Chronic
I used to be a chronic nail biter. Except I can’t remember it. The action I mean; I can’t remember biting them. I’m not sure at what age it started but I do remember (sometime as a Primary School aged student) that yucky paint-on medicine stuff that attempted to dissuade one from having a […]
Theme of Legends
I did a recent survey of strangers as to who their legends are, and why. I did it because I’m interested to know if there are common themes in cultures as to who and what we currently value and respect. And what I discovered was that sportspeople, entertainers and a sparse few characters from history […]
The Perfect Image
Are you finding it a challenge at the moment to image one particular thing, one new thing for your almost-here future? I’ve been imagining on the word imagine in the past 2 weeks and am interested that image is part of imagining. This time of year many magazines are splashed with articles and headings […]
Where do we overuse a term?
I heard something awesome at yoga over the weekend. It was at the end of our practice, when we were sitting having a quick meditation just at the end of class. The yoga teacher posed the question: forget about the term ‘yoga’, think, right now, feel into, what is ‘yoga’ for you. And that got […]
